    Regulation (EU) 2022/2399 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishes a European Union Single Window Environment for Customs (‘EU Single Window Environment for Customs’), which includes an electronic European Union Customs Single Window Certificates Exchange System (EU CSW-CERTEX), the national single window environments for customs, and various Union non-customs systems the use of which is either mandatory or voluntary under Union law.


    In order to optimise trade of agricultural products, all documents required in agricultural legislation for fulfilling non-customs formalities are made available to the customs authorities of Member States in electronic form via the EU Single Window Environment for Customs.


    Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1269 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1272 establish an electronic system for agricultural non-customs formalities (‘ELAN’) to make the documents falling under its scope available in electronic form to customs authorities.


    Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237 lays down rules for applying the system of import and export licences for trade of agricultural products and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 lays down rules for the administration of import and export tariff rate quotas subject to licences. Those Delegated Regulations are amended by this Regulation so that the documents under their scope can be made available to the customs authorities of Member States in electronic form via the EU Single Window Environment for Customs.


    The electronic exchange of licences via ELAN and EU CSW-CERTEX require the gradual replacement of the templates for import and export licences set out in Annex I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1239 with new data models designed for ELAN, called ELAN1L-AGRIM and ELAN1L-AGREX, that are to allow their use in electronic form via the communication between the national electronic systems, ELAN, and EU CSW-CERTEX.


    This Regulation takes into account that the use of ELAN is to become gradually mandatory in accordance with the dates of the transitional period laid down in Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1272. During the transitional period laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 of that Article, licences may be based on the templates set out in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1239. In addition, during the transitional period laid down in Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1272 and until the use of ELAN becomes mandatory for customs authorities, documents falling under the scope of ELAN may be printed on paper.


    Moreover, the use of documents printed on paper may still be possible when the use of ELAN has become mandatory, as a fallback solution if the system becomes temporarily unavailable. This Regulation allows for this possibility.


    This Regulation entered into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, to ensure the correct application of the rules before ELAN will become available to its users for testing purposes.
